·President Report: Staci Taniguchi

Secretary/Treasurer duties versus WEF MA standard. Consider a treasurer that stays in the position for multiple years. A separate treasurer role would assist with tracking overall budget and expenses throughout the year to provide better oversight on the organization’s financial positions. Will involve reorganization. Staci will ask the Constitution/Bylaws committee members if they are interested in continuing.

·Vice-President Report: Audrey Haerle

Next quarterly Luncheon – Wednesday January 11th or 12th at Hale Ikena or Pagoda – includes election of officers, need a wastewater topic.
